' JUST FOLKS 15 T 1'dirR.r A. Gttet e 1 4 ABOUT MONEY AND THINGS fan you think of money when the sun is shining hih An' the little fleecy sail boats race tho ocean of the sky? ; Does money realiy matter when you're out among the trees An' listenin' to the pong birds an' the dronln of the bees? 'An' lonp; about October when the world Is lookin' fine Arc you blinded to i's beauty by the sordid dollar sign? There's a heap more here than money' though a little gold Is good, Ah I'd like a bie'i' fortune an' would get It if I could; I There are times that I forzot It time I even cease to caro That my pocketbook is empty an' I've nothing fine to wear, An' I let the race go by me while I loaf along tho way To glory in the -splendor an' the beauty beau-ty of the day. It may be. ac some have told me, thai I waste a lot of time, ; But the fields are full o' gladness an' the air is full of rhyme, I An' the trees are all so lovely that I ve got to stand and look. An' I like to rest an' liBten lo Ihe bab bllu' of a brook Though I know it costs me money an' tbc thiug men call success, I Just take my compensation in a day of happiness. There are some who live for money, and by gold they rise cr fall, I But there's so much more to live for when you think about it all That the most of us, 1 fancy, often wander far astray Seek in Kindness an contentment In .1 different sort o' way. I We go rompln' with the youngsters, trampln' nn trail wo choose, An' we never stop to reckon up the money we may lose. 00
